Rosie reaches out to Danny Noriega...

"American Idol" castoff Danny Noriega has been offered a cruise by Rosie O'Donnell.- but she expects him to sing for his supper.

On her blog, Rosie raved about Danny's performance and offered him a free cruise to Mexico on her R Family Vacations.

"I don't know if you have to sit around the American Idol studio and look sad for the next few weeks -- because I think that's part of the contract," Rosie joked. "[But] you got a free cruise. You and a friend....Come on there, and I want you to sing 'Tainted Love. I think you're fantastic. And I think you're a bold and brave and beautiful young man. And I admire you, Danny Noriega. You have an amazing voice. And your hair looks good straight."

Also on the cruise: Rosie's pal and True Colors Tour partner Cyndi Lauper: "You can sing with her -- and me -- onstage."

That, is an offer Danny should not refuse!
